Thee Cha Chas, Space Boozzies and Lion Island Party

A one-woman, one-man, garage-punk band from Melbourne, Australia, Thee Cha Cha Chas formed as a joke for a backyard battle of the bands in 2015…and the joke continues in 2019!

With guitar, bass, drums and male and female vocals, Thee Cha Cha Chas have a full sound and an energetic stage show. Think: the love child of Dead Moon and Ramones, plus a dash of Sonny & Cher’s kooky garage-punk alter egos.

Thee Cha Cha Chas have toured Europe (2016), Australia (2017) and recently returned from 14 dates in Japan this October, including the Back From The Grave 2019 festival in Tokyo with cult legends The Mummies (US), old mates The Stompin’ Riffraffs (Japan), plus some of the dirtiest, fun, most rockin’ bands in existence.

Hand-picked local guests for Hardys Bay:

Lion Island formed over a love of all things guitar and fine barbecue dinners, where the background music probably included The Fauves, The Clash, Custard and Wilco. They've since released several EPs and the smashing album 'The Undicovered Country'. They recently supported Aussie bogan-rock sweethearts The Chats at Terrigal.

Space Boozzies dig the Central Coast lifestyle, with songs like 'Livin' Up the Coast' and 'Messy in Umina'. They've played from Melbourne to Brisbane and Newcastle in between, and can't wait for this home-town showdown! Their debut EP 'I Feel Alright' is sold out but they'll have other sweet merch to buy at the show, including T-shirts!
